I’m creating a website on censorship and I was curious to what your views are on censorship. What are your views on censorship? Do you think censorship works? Is there anything that you would censor?

Free speech is a right in this country. The only thing I’d censor is threatening material or child porn. There are written works that offend me, but they have a right to be written. When hate speech is based on lies (as is usually is), it angers me, but as a librarian reminded me, it’s only offensive speech that needs protection since inoffensive speech doesn’t bother people. When governments suppress any kind of speech (other than child porn or credible threats), it’s abusing its power to control people, esp.those who disagree with govt. policy. Just Curious
